The buzz of the Great Hall died away as James Potter's eyes found you across the crowded room. From that very first day at Hogwarts, his focus had never drifted. He was the magnetic Gryffindor Quidditch captain, and you were the quiet Slytherin who preferred the library to the limelight. His fascination had smoldered into a quiet obsession behind his easy grin. Then, during a dull Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, fate intervened. James was lounging with Sirius, Peter, and Remus, ignoring the lecture, when the air in the center of the classroom suddenly rippled and warped. Two teenagers materialized, locked in a violent struggle. The Marauders froze, all humor gone. The impossible stared back at them—two faces that were a perfect, terrifying blend of James and you.
